Episode 536
‘Are you arguing because you’re in a bad mood?’
Lee Han, who did not understand what the skeleton principal said, thought so.
Well, Principal Skeleton was a person who was in a bad mood more than he was in a good mood. How heartbreaking it would be to have to spend a golden weekend with a troublesome bard and a troublesome disciple.
“Then let’s go to the next location.”
“yes.”
After finishing the note, Ifadur moved towards the next location.
Next were the stonemason guild members who were repairing the castle wall that was broken by a wild wyvern attack.
-The ten-fingered dwarf wielded a hammer, became a nine-fingered dwarf, the nine-fingered dwarf wielded a hammer, became an eight-fingered dwarf…
– Excellent, excellent!
-This is a miracle!
Next was the Tvaladla tavern, which sold the best beer on the street.
-One day, a lost monster attacked the village and defeated it. People asked for compensation, but I just need beer! The bigger monsters were burning down the territory, so I defeated them. People praised me, but beer is all I need!
-Boo! go away!
-That’s a song!
Next is a gambling hall where the wizard card game is being played in a big way…
-If you risk your life one by one…
-Can you please be quiet?
-It’s not because of you that trash cards keep coming out!
Next was a small club where local historians gathered.
-We know that there is a secret in the book…
-I just had a new inspiration.
-This is a miracle song!
After finishing his tour, Lee Han sat down at a cafe to take a short break and said as if he didn’t understand.
“Primordial magic is truly fickle. “I don’t know what the rules are.”
It received rave reviews from masons’ guild members and historians’ clubs, but was booed in taverns and gambling houses.
Lee Han couldn’t tell the difference.
“……”
“……”
Ipadur and Headmaster Skeleton exchanged glances.
Unlike Lee Han, the two seemed to know each other.
The turtle beast cleared his throat, looked at Lee Han, and spoke to him.
“Wardanaz student. “Do you not like playing very much?”
“yes???”
Lee Han was surprised.
I heard Lee Han doesn’t like playing very much.
It was insulting, as if I had been told, ‘You actually don’t like money that much?’
“Are you saying such insulting things to me because I did something wrong?”
“Oh, no…”
The old bard was taken aback by the first fierce display of this exemplary student.
The skeleton principal answered for Ipadur.
“I don’t like playing very much.”
“no!”
“It’s true that you don’t like it. “I am a student of this former school.”
“No, that’s…!”
I tried to argue that some of them were because of you, but the skeleton principal ignored them without giving me a chance.
“I didn’t expect it to be this much, but there is a really clear trend. “At this level, I would say it’s more regular than uncertain.”
“That is correct.”
Ipadur agreed, scanning the records with wrinkled fingers.
Originally, the conditions of primitive magic were difficult to find and the rules were difficult to find, but in the case of the boy from the Wardanaz family, it was easier to understand.
It was clear that he was good at singing songs that matched the direction of his life, but that he couldn’t convey his emotions in songs that didn’t.
Normally, even the right songs should have a low success rate, but thanks to the boy from the Wardanaz family who succeeded in everything with his unique ability, we were able to confirm this.
“Thank you very much. Wardanaz student.”
“Maybe there’s a problem with the theory?”
Lee Han tried to find fault with them, but the two just ignored them.
Ipadur was busy looking at the scores he had recorded today.
“Hmm. “If you see this tune appearing continuously…”
“Wouldn’t it be better to first establish a score system and then reorganize the scores based on a common standard?”
Lee Han carefully presented his opinion while looking at Ipadur’s scribble-like scores.
As the songs were written or received from different people, the methods of recording pitch and rhythm were mixed, and some parts were even omitted.
It didn’t matter when Ipadur sang alone, but a common standard was needed to organize it through musical magic.
“Aha… That’s right.”
The old bard was impressed by Lee Han’s words.
As he was definitely a student at Einrogard, he pointed out methods that Ipadur himself had not thought of.
Ipadur drew a simple sheet music frame and symbols and handed half of the note to Lee Han.
“Could you please sort it out for me?”
“……”
Lee Han, who dug the grave himself, began to clean it up with a gloomy face.

The skeleton principal who was watching from the side clicked his tongue.
At that level, I hated playing, to the point where I hated it.
* * *
After finishing the arrangement neatly, Ipadur was satisfied with finding several common passages and chords.
It is said that 80% of music magic is due to the caster’s emotions, but rules like this were always discovered in the process.
These rules will serve as a great guide when creating and trying out new musical magic in the future.
“But the more important issue than that is casting. Cast.”
“You make the right point.”
Ipadur agreed.
The biggest weakness of music magic was that the power of the magic itself was so weak that it was difficult to cast.
“Can you give me some advice? “If it is the wisdom of Prince Gonadaltes…”
“There is no way.”
Although the skeleton principal kept complaining that he didn’t like music magic, he didn’t ignore the request.
“Whether it’s increasing the concentration of magic around you or putting magic into your words. Both methods are difficult to implement in practice right away. So wizards who want to try this magic will have to use both methods to achieve results somehow.”
“Both methods… I never thought of it!”
As Ipadur exclaimed, the skeleton headmaster spoke arrogantly.
“exactly. First, we should start by singing together in groups. Even if it’s difficult alone, if you work with others, you can increase the concentration of magical power around you to some extent. The same goes for putting magic into words. If you look at the cases, there were ordinary people who were momentarily intoxicated with emotions and squeezed out their magic. “It is a much lower method than putting it in the words themselves, but it will provide a breakthrough.”
Ipadur diligently took notes on the skeleton principal’s golden and jade-like advice.
“Do the students already know how to increase magic concentration in groups?”
“It’s probably not likely. It’s a rare method and it would never have happened. Let Wardanaz continue to show and implement what he does. There may be trial and error, but it can’t be helped.”
“?”
Lee Han, who was resting next to him, was taken aback when an arrow suddenly flew by.
“Squeezing out magical power is…”
“That too. It would be rare for a student to be familiar with such violent methods. Likewise, keep singing Wardanaaz. As the saying goes, in the end, the best way is to repeat what you see and hear. “Even if you can’t put magic power into words, you can squeeze it out and pour it out as close as possible.”
“Thank you so much for the advice!”
“uh…”
Ipadur, who was in a great mood, stood in front of the cafe and started singing.
It was a singing ability that made even people passing by without much interest listen.
In an instant, people gathered. Everyone gathered applauded in admiration.
Everyone was happy with the music. Except Lee Han and the skeleton principal.
“……”
“So I told you that music magic wouldn’t be very helpful.”
“…no. I am happy…”
Lee Han didn’t want to please the skeleton principal, so he bluffed.
The skeleton principal shook his head at that sight.
“Then I guess I’ll pick up all kinds of trash magic and study it.”
-master.
The Death Knight, who covered his entire body so as not to scare the people of other cities, approached and spoke.
-As you said, we have put them on standby.
“i get it. Good job. Ask them to wait a little longer. “Is there anyone complaining?”
-When I heard the master’s name, my mouth fell silent.
“okay.”
“…?”
Lee Han’s eyes immediately lit up at the conversation between the skeleton principal and the death knight.
I felt like there was some hidden information in the conversation.
“Who are you?”
“These are the workers needed for this construction. why? Do you want to work together too?”
“no. “I was just curious.”
The skeleton principal answered casually. As someone who has dealt with numerous students, he knew well that there would be no benefit in hiding or showing off.
The best camouflage was to look the same as usual.
However, Lee Han was not easy.
No matter what the skeleton principal said, I decided not to believe it unconditionally.
‘I’ll check and go.’
At that moment, Ipadur was finishing a song and receiving enthusiastic applause. Ihan brought cold water and whispered to Ipadur as he offered it.
“Ipadur. I have a favor to ask.”
“What is it…?”
“The school rules are strict, so I haven’t had a chance to go out, but there is a book I really want to buy. Sobbing.”
Lee Han said, trying his best to look pitiful.
If it was effective, Ipadur felt very sad.
I wanted to repay you with something for helping me with Music Magic, but I never thought there would be a story like this!
As students in the midst of their blood boiling, they couldn’t help but want to go outside, even if the rules were strict.
Ipadur nodded.
“What can I do for you, Student Wardanaz?”
“Could you please take some time to talk to the principal separately? “Then I will buy the book right away.”
The old turtle beast squinted his eyes as if asking to be left to him.
“Now… everyone. everyone. I can’t thank you enough for liking this old man’s song. “I’m going to sing the next song with someone else.”
“Sure, could it be one of us?”
“Nonsense. “If I could do that, even my grandchildren’s grandchildren would be honored!”
“He is a great man whose name you all know. Prince Gonadaltes! “I would be honored if you would sing one song with me.”
“????”
The skeleton principal sat down in his seat, closed his eyes with a somber expression, and then raised his head.
What did you just say?
“Oh, Gonadaltes?? “You mean that archmage?”
“I… As far as I know, I heard that everyone who made eye contact in the past turned to stone. “He locks those stone people in his dungeon and uses them as decorations…”
“What nonsense! There is no way the person who teaches Einrogard’s students would do such a violent thing. “It must have been a rumor maliciously spread by our enemies!”
People were buzzing, and the city’s wealthy people among them were shouting with sparkling eyes.
Ipadur’s song is great, but to top it off, the song of a great wizard like Gonadaltes!
It was like having a story that I would never get tired of talking about at parties and banquet halls for the rest of my life.
“Mr. Gonadaltes. “If you call me just once, I will remember you as an honor for the rest of my life!”
“please! please!”
‘Should I kill them all…’
The headmaster thought about the donations made by the families of this city.
Then the anger subsided a little.
* * *
“Sharkan. thanks.”
Lee Han, with the help of Sharkan, carefully caught up to the Death Knight.
Death Knights increasingly escaped to more secluded parts of the city. Lee Han casted an invisibility spell to avoid being caught.
‘Are you really a worker?’
When Lee Han saw the Death Knight heading towards the shabby warehouse, he wondered if he had been oversensitive.
Well, even though Einrogard looked quiet on the outside, there were always a lot of people coming and going inside.
As the number of people is limited, it is impossible for merchants or workers to not come in.
thud!
When the door closed, Lee Han quickly moved closer to the warehouse and listened.
-Everyone has waited a long time.
“Damn it, are you going to lock me here for three days?! “I tried to just ignore it, but this is really…”
puck!
-Shut up. You trash.
The Death Knight struck down the mercenary who spoke.
-Be grateful just for saving the lives of criminals like you. If you complain one more time, I will turn you into a stone statue and throw you deep underground, where no one will come.
The mercenaries fell silent in fear.
-There is only one way for you to get out of here. Train and practice. So that you can defeat wizards even if you come face to face with them.
“I don’t know what kind of wizard they are targeting, but bring him in! “Because I can kill you right now!”
-There is still a long way to go. Practice more. We will only let out those who pass the standards.
“……”
Lee Han sighed deeply.
I could guess why those mercenaries were brought there.
